Is Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?
I feel like Elvis. Only alive.
First time I saw Elvis was at the Lubbock County fairgrounds in Lubbock, Texas. He was on the back end of a truck. There was about 1500 screaming kids.
One of the few times I saw my mother cry was when Lennon died, and the other time was when Elvis died.
I'm sure that Elvis was happy for me. I think he was the kind of guy that enjoyed other people's success, especially if he had something to do with it.
My mom was a huge Adam and the Ants fan. My granddad listened to a lot of Motown and Elvis and Johnny Cash. So I was kind of well-rounded.
There were the phone calls and Elvis had asked me to visit him in Los Angeles. This was in 1962.
I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.
What can you say about a society that says that God is dead and Elvis is alive?
I still have an old painting the Colonel gave me. It was the first time the Colonel had been back to the Hilton since Elvis had passed away.
It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.
Elvis was incredibly cooperative. He would try anything. He wasn't a diva, no prima donna. When it came to work, he was a workhorse.
I'm the first has-been star singer ever to sing with the circus. I mean, Presley sang with the circus, but that was before he became a star.
Iconic artists are never straight ahead. Michael Jackson loved Elvis and Burt Bacharach, and uniquely blended both of them into what he did.
I wanted to come through with my own voice and, hopefully, have it affect people. I want people to know that I'm not an Elvis impersonator.
Elvis was just like a big old kid. It was like he never got past 19, I don't think, in a lotta ways.
As you know, I played a little trumpet with Elvis. I overdub a few drum licks here and there on a session, but I'm not a drummer by any means.
Elvis was the king. No doubt about it. People like myself, Mick Jagger and all the others only followed in his footsteps.
They were taking pictures and everything. When we got down off the plane, the minute Elvis made his appearance at the door of the plane, the screaming got even worse.
I'm just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I'd be seeing Elvis soon.
The best came from my martial arts teacher, who also taught Elvis. He said, 'Your ego will get you killed.'
